fix

When modifying a GPO and adding a script, such as a Machine Startup script, you can add it using either of two methods: 

  • Add the script to the GPO itself in the Startup directory (ie. C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain_name\Policies\{2BC2546F-5818-4CB9-AAA5-D14F3B57351E}\Machine\Scripts\Startup)
  • Add the script as a UNC path to an external location 

If the script is a part of the GPO, then GPA imports the script into the Repository when performing an Import.  However, if the script parameter is a UNC path to an external location, then GPA does not import the script into the Repository.  Instead GPA includes a link to the UNC path with the other script parameter settings.
